dSPACE AURELION accelerates sensor development
Summary
Currently, sensing platform and perception system development requires the integration and calibration of the actual sensor hardware on a vehicle and the conventional data acquisition and annotation, which are expensive and time-consuming processes. Essential functionality for these tasks is provided by AURELION, the new dSPACE solution for sensor-realistic simulation, which enables sophisticated physics-based sensor models and photorealistic visualisation. The LiDAR front-end sensor model will enable our customers to efficiently develop, simulate, validate and optimise LeddarEngine-based LiDAR sensor designs using dSPACE SiL and HiL testing environments,” states Christopher Wiegand, Strategic Product Manager at dSPACE. “Market growth in the coming years will continue at SAE levels 2 and 3 for ADAS and, before LeddarEcho, there were no solutions for simulating front LiDARs for these systems,” states Pierre Olivier, Chief Technology Officer at LeddarTech. This tool will potentially save months of R&D for new systems by enabling simulations at the sensor or perception development levels without the need for actual hardware and data collection and annotation,” Mr. Olivier concludes.
